How the [bleep] old are you? I’ve been thinking I need to get on daily regimen My diet isn’t balanced enough.
I googled it the a while back for recommendations

Seems most articles are peddlin a particular brand.


Ended up with member mark Mens Multi-vitamins from Sams club.

Multi and since starting echinacea I no long get head cold.
Salt and Minerals are more important, as meat/fat/vegetables will have the vitamins.

Chelated minerals - are a better choice, as they are more assimilable than the cheap rock form.

Take a Costco Daily-Multi for the B-complex and trace elements, just because.

P.S.

Forget the Calcium supplements:





GR
Per the Doc, D-3 on alternate days as a "top up" dose.

Otherwise, I simply eat well with lots of fruits and veggies. Some dairy every day, weekly fish, and lessened red meat.
multi gummies every day, and every other day I take Zinc, Vit C, Vit D3 and Fish Oil Omega 3
All the vitamins and aspirin.
Whatever the bride tells me to take.
Posted By: gunchamp Re: Do you all take vitamins? - 09/21/23
Yes. multi along with D3 and mk7
Yes.


As the soils degrade, our food becomes less nutritious.


The carrot you ate yesterday had less vitamins and minerals as it did 50 years ago.


Organic vs conventional does not matter.

So...as the years go by...it gets harder and harder to get enough from the food we eat.

best post so far... there ain't enough rich soil left on earth to feed everybody... at least properly anyway!... meat don't have the nutrition(or flavor) it used to either... same reason, depleted soil...
D3, Calcium as directed by Endocrinologist following thyroidectomy.
Potassium as directed by general practitioner.
I take the ones that are in my food.

Centrum Silver, iron sulfide tablet, and a Vitamin C tablet.

To answer the original question, I would say that the odds are very good that the answer is no.
Yes. VIT C and D and Zink. In 2 years of taking this combo I never got sick until this past July when I forgot to take them for a few days. All those in the house had colds and I finally got the mildest cold I have ever had for about 3 days. With kids in the house bringing things in from school I was assured of getting sick several times a year before I started on this.

Better get with it youngster.

Head start you know, get in the routine.

Thank me later.
Yes
Yes, C, Multi, D3, Zinc, & sometimes Quercetin. Strengthens the immune system.
Posted By: Valsdad Re: Do you all take vitamins? - 09/21/23
2 Vit C 1K mg per day

Zinc

one D3 just because. Probably get more than enough with our 250+ days of sunshine a year.

and then a bunch of "supplements"
I take a multi vitamin every day and make sure it has the AREDS formulation included. They are for eye health and hold off things like AMD.

Absolutely, and that's reason enough for some supplements.

If you do the zinc be sure you're getting enough copper...very important.

Only one I take daily is a 500mg vitamin B-12. Seems everyone on my mom's side had issues with being deficient in it. Doc told me that some folks just don't absorb vitamin B well. Years ago my mom got real low and they had to give her a shot to get it back up to normal. Long as I take a B-12 tablet regularly I'm O.K.. If you are low it will show up in a routine blood test. Also have some senior multivitamins that I take almost daily or at least 3 or 4 times a week.
I take a multivitamin every day. Centrum, One a Day, Kirkland, whatever is on sale.

Same here, plus Zinc, B-6, and C
Not a vitamin per say, but Milk thistle pills. Cleans out your liver, which makes it that I sleep all night without waking up. Works for me.

Others, B-12, C, D, etc, off and on.
If you eats a reasonably healthy diet, you are literally pissing your money away with vitamins.
I eat a balanced diet but I’ll take vitamin supplements 2-3 times a week for added support. If I’m sick or starting to feel sick I’ll take more vitamins especially C and Zinc. I take a multivitamin that is designed for bariatric surgery patients and it’s the only multi vitamin that I’ve ever taken that I can actually “feel” when it’s dissolved and “kicked in”. It’s a lot more expensive but I think I’m absorbing it more readily than the Costco or Centrum style of vitamin.

My wife and I have both noticed through the years that if we take vitamins we seem to have much longer intervals in between getting colds. I’ve also noticed that if I take high dose vitamin C and a few others at the first sign of a cold I can knock it out before it gets bad or at the very least I can ease the symptoms.
Vitamins I, P, and A.
Posted By: TwoTall Re: Do you all take vitamins? - 09/21/23
Multi vitamin, lots of vitamin D. Niacin, a fist full of stuff like cats claw, nettle, and magnesium to keep the Lyme symptoms at bay.
All of them.
A few on here need a pallet of prevagen ( it's made from jellyfish) cut sling on top of their noggin I swear to God.
1st one that comes to mind is Ringman/Rainman..
👍🏻🤣👍🏻

This says I'm getting enough just from my chocolate addiction wink

8. Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate contains higher amounts of cocoa solids — as well as less milk and sugar — than regular chocolate.

Dark chocolate boasts antioxidants, fiber and several nutrients.

For example, a 3.5-ounce (100-gram) bar of dark chocolate — with 70–85% cocoa solids — provides 11 grams of fiber, 98% of the RDI for manganese and 67% of the RDI for iron (20).

The same bar also packs a massive 200% of the RDI for copper.

What’s more, consuming dark chocolate as part of a balanced diet is linked to improvements in several heart disease risk factors (21Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source).

However, take care to not overeat dark chocolate. It’s still a high-calorie food loaded with fat and potentially sugar.

I eat at least half of a 3.5 oz bar a day I figure, so I should be good to go

I take a plain ol' regular strength multivitamin every day. My diet isn't all that great, I figure a little boost could help.

I take vitamin B complex every day. During mosquito season I take two a day and they don't bite me.

i live on homegrown meat, vegetables and fruit when in season and can & freeze for the off season... after consulting my Doc with some complaints he ordered up a blood test... came back deficient in D3 & B12... he ordered 2000 IU's D3 & 1000 MCG's B12 daily... it helped with my complaints but i had some internal discomfort, so i cut the D3 back to 1000 IU's daily which cleared up the discomfort... i don't just take vitamins without a reason...
Overdoses of certain vitamins can be very harmful. Not a good idea to just take a whole bunch of them just because you can.

They say the doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient. Treating yourself with veterinary meds intended for worming dogs and horses ?
Direct correlation between D and a better colonoscopy... fewer polyps etc.
